Liverpool must still add to their squad in January despite spending £446m in the summer transfer window, says Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher.

The Reds brought in seven senior players including Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz for nine-figure transfer fees, but find themselves eight points off the Premier League summit following their 3-0 defeat at Manchester City before the international break.

Questions have been raised about integrating so many players at once and the challenge of fitting in Isak and fellow new arrival Hugo Ekitike, who has outperformed the Swedish forward to date despite costing barely half his price tag.

Liverpool have also looked shaky at the back, with captain Virgil van Dijk copping high-profile flak from BBC pundit Wayne Rooney, while collectively the club has the seventh-worst defensive record across the Premier League this season.

Carragher identified where his former side's summer of spending had fallen short, saying: "Liverpool need to spend in January, they need to buy a centre-back, they should have bought a centre-back in the summer."

"They didn't, and then the one centre-back they did buy, Leoni, a young Italian player, looked fantastic in the game that he played, a Carabao Cup game. Unfortunately, he got an ACL injury, so we won't see him until next season.

"Liverpool are probably one injury away at centre-back from really derailing the season, so they have to go to the market in January.
